DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in the drawings, the present invention discloses a multi-function cup having a detachable cup mouth. The multi-function cup comprises a cup body 1. The cup body 1 has a cup mouth 2. The cup body 1 is made of a soft material. The soft material is silicone. The cup mouth 2 is provided with a sealing cover device. The sealing cover device comprises a cup cover 3, an engaging hoop 4, an engaging ring 5, and a buckle 6. The engaging hoop 4 is attached to an inner wall of the engaging ring 5. The engaging ring 5 has a notch 7. The buckle 6 is connected with the engaging ring 5. One end of the buckle 6 is jointed with the engaging ring at one side of the notch 7, and another end of the buckle 6 is buckled to the engaging ring at another side of the notch 7. The cup mouth 2 is provided with a flange 8 extending upward. The flange 8 is attached to an inner wall of the engaging hoop 4. The cup cover 3 is mated with an inner wall of the flange 8. The cup cover 3 is engaged with threads of the flange 8 of the cup mouth 2. The buckle 6 is buckled with the engaging ring 5 to reduce the engaging ring 5 along the notch 7, such that the engaging hoop 4 at the inner wall of the engaging ring 5 is to fasten the flange 8 of the cup mouth 2. When the user wants to put an article into the cup, the sealing cover device can be detached from the cup body to take out the cup cover, and then the buckle is unbuckled. The engaging ring is loosened along the notch, enabling the engaging hoop at the inner side of the engaging ring to unfasten the flange of the cup mouth and then to compress the cup mouth, such that the sealing cover device is detached from the cup body. Because the cup mouth can be distorted with ease, the article can be placed into the cup more easily. After placement, the corresponding steps are taken to complete the installation. Through the aforesaid detachable configuration, the present invention can be assembled and disassembled conveniently and has a simple structure and can be stored conveniently. The multi-function cup can be used as a water cup or a container to store some articles, such as a cell phone, a watch, and the like. The present invention provides multiple functions and can be used widely.

As shown in the drawings, the buckle 6 comprises an engaging plate 61 and a connector 62. The engaging plate 61 is hingedly connected to the engaging ring 5 at one side of the notch 7. One end of the connector 62 is hingedly connected to the engaging plate 61. Another end of the connector 62 is connected to the engaging ring 5 at the other side of the notch 7. Through the connection of the engaging plate and the connecter, the present invention can be operated conveniently, quickly and simply when in use.

As shown in the drawings, an outer side of the engaging ring 5 is provided with a protective covering 9 which is attached to the engaging ring 5. The outer side of the engaging ring 5 has a protruding block 10. The protruding block 10 has a limit groove 11 therein. One side of the protruding block 10 has an opening 12 in communication with the limit groove 12. The opening 12 and the limit groove 11 form a T-shaped configuration. An inner side of the protective covering 9 has a limit block 13 to mate with the limit groove 11. Because the outer side of the engaging ring is provided with the protective covering, the engaging ring provides limit, guide and stable functions by means of the cooperation of the limit block, the limit groove and the protective covering.

As shown in the drawings, an upper portion of the inner wall of the engaging ring 5 has a limit rib 14 protruding outward, and a lower portion of the inner wall of the engaging ring 5 has a support rib 15 protruding outward. An upper end of the engaging hoop 4 is engaged with the limit rib 14, and a lower end of the engaging hoop 4 is in contact with the support rib 15. Through the limit rib 14 and the support rib 15, the engaging hoop 4 is positioned to prevent it from disengagement. The positioning of the engaging hoop is more stable, which is beneficial for retaining the cup mouth.

As shown in the drawings, the cup cover 3 comprises a cover body 31 and a base 32. The base 32 has an accommodation trough 33 thereon. The cover body 31 is engaged in the accommodation trough 33. The accommodation trough 33 is provided with a battery case 16 and a luminous member 17 which is electrically connected with the battery case 16. A lower end of the base 32 has a through hole 18. The luminous member 17 corresponds to the through hole 18. The cup cover is provided with an illumination structure, such that the light from the luminous member can penetrate the cup body to provide an illumination function because the cup body is made of silicone. The present invention provides multiple functions and is convenient for use.

As shown in the drawings, a side wall of the cover body 31 has a recess 19. One side of the recess 19 is an engaging entrance 20 in communication with a lower end of the recess 19. Another side of the recess 19 is provided with a protruding guide rail 21. The guide rail 21 is inclined toward the engaging entrance 20. An engaging groove 22 is provided at the guide rail 21. An inner wall of the accommodation trough 33 is provided with a protrusion 23. The protrusion 23 is inserted through the engaging entrance 20 and slid in the engaging groove 22 along the guide rail 21. When installed, the protrusion 23 is aligned with the engaging entrance. After the protrusion 23 is slid into the engaging entrance, the cup cover 3 is turned for the protrusion is moved along the guide rail to be engaged in the engaging groove. It is convenient to assemble and disassemble the cup cover.

As shown in the drawings, the cup body 1 is provided with a first retaining end 24 and a second retaining end 25. The first retaining end 24 is connected with a binding mechanism. The binding mechanism comprises a hook 26, a first hanging ring 27, and a connecting strap 28. The second retaining end 25 is provided with a second hanging ring 29. The first hanging ring 27 is connected with the first retaining end 24. One end of the connecting strap 28 is connected with the first hanging ring 27, and another end of the connecting strap 28 is connected with the hook 26. When the cup body 1 is compressed, the hook 26 bypasses the compressed cup body 1 to buckle the second hanging ring 29. Through the binding mechanism, the size of the cup can be reduced because the soft cup is compressed to reduce the space occupied. This is convenient for carrying and use.

As shown in the drawings, the first retaining end 24 and the second retaining end 25 are symmetrically disposed at two sides of the upper end of the cup body 1. The binding mechanism bypasses the bottom of the cup body 1 to connect with the second retaining end 25. Through the first retaining end and the second retaining end disposed on the cup body, not only the strength of the upper end of the cup body can be enhanced, but also the cup body can be compressed greatly to reduce its size. For the cup, the space to be occupied is less. Furthermore, the first retaining end and the second retaining end are integrally formed with the cup body 1.
